Sasquatch: The Evidence
There is so much on Planet Earth that the human race knows nothing about, from the deepest unexplored oceans to dense forestation. My project aims to log every piece of information about an item of which we have very little knowledge on. Bigfoot was one such subject that also contained mysterious and controversial aspects.
This project evidences how typographic practice can alter or underpin the message that lies within it. Because of the two starkly contrasting viewpoints that surround the ‘does Bigfoot exist?’ argument, the book was divided into two distinctive sections: a scientific analysis of the facts available through research compiled by scientists, and a selection of arguments and evidence submitted by hardcore believers of Sasquatch.
Running through the centre of the book is a selection of four newspapers that were printed recently regarding Sasquatch. Their placement offers a neutral perspective on the heated debate, and can be used as ammunition for both sides of the argument. The three sides to the book offer the viewer the opportunity to investigate all of the evidence available, from every point of view, and make a decision as to whether they believe that an animal like a Sasquatch could or does exist in the wilds of America – or not.
